These days, Black Clover may be the fun thing to hate on, but does the wizard-centric series really deserve the roasting?

Sure, Soul Eater may have strayed big time with its anime finale, but does a rushed ending negate the rest of the show?

Black Clover may be the fun thing to diss these days, but Sword Art Online experienced the ambush years ago. It has since escaped the spotlight… for now.

Not all hot takes have to be about TV series. Sometimes, the gloves come off when fans start thinking about Your Name and its massive reputation.

Are you over gratuitious cleavage and six-pack shots? You definitely aren’t the only one.

If you really want to get nostalgic anime fans fuming, all you got to do is bring up the on-going Pokemon v Digimon debate. Works every time.
